ANTC

[aoifebella]

Has anybody had any experience of trying to join ANTC (Association of Non-Profit Theater Companies)?  I am Irish and legally live in the US on my husbands work visa.  In order to work on my next show I have to sign an ANTC contract, and therefore become a member. The theater company are offering to sponsor my visa which is fantastic.  But, (isn't there always a but?) my lawyer tells me ANTC and AEA are very strict about immigration status.  Has anyone had a similar experience?  Thanks AB
